Steps:

1. Find out what version and type of BootWare you are using by running
ROMSCAN.EXE (from BootWare Utility Disk), or by using the <ctrl> + <alt> + <B>
hotkey available shortly after booting. Refer to the table above and
see if BootWare supports the adapter you are using. If "Yes", BootWare
should work without any problem and you can ignore this file. If "No",
continue to Step 2.

2. Make sure you have BootWare Utility Disk for 3Com version 2.40 or newer.
The utility disk is also available on our Web server (www.lanworks.com)
and FTP site (ftp.lanworks.com).

3. Refer to the table above, locate the letter next to "No" and follow
the steps below:

	(A) Type "BW59X" and choose "Update ROM". Select 7061200.BW from
	the menu to update BootWare to version 2.0 (Part number: 70061,
	Name: 3C59X). Once BootWare is upgraded to 2.0, use BWUPDATE
	(NOT BW59X) to configure or update BootWare.

	(B) Type "copy 7100200.ROM 7061200.BW". Type BW59X and choose
	"Update ROM". Select 7061200.BW from the menu to update BootWare
	to version 2.0 (Part number: 70100, Name: 3C90X). Once BootWare
	is upgraded to 2.0, use BWUPDATE (NOT BW59X) to configure or
	update BootWare.

	(C) Type "BWUPDATE 7100300.ROM /F". BootWare will be updated
	to version 3.0 (Part Number: 70100, Name: 3C90X).

	(D) Type "BWUPDATE 7061200.ROM /F". BootWare will be updated
	to version 2.0 (Part Number: 70061, Name: 3C59X).
